Based on the information available, there is no specific or typical timeframe for muscle pain relief associated with Lipitor (atorvastatin) use. Muscle pain or weakness, known as myalgia, is a potential side effect of Lipitor and other statin drugs [1]. The duration and severity of this side effect can vary greatly from one individual to another [1].
In some cases, muscle pain may subside on its own within a few days or weeks after starting Lipitor or after a dosage adjustment [2]. However, if muscle pain persists or worsens, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation [1]. The muscle pain may be unrelated to Lipitor, or it could be a sign of a more severe condition, such as rhabdomyolysis [1].
It is important to note that the information provided here is not exhaustive, and individual experiences may vary. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical advice regarding the use of Lipitor or any other medication.
